Extent to Which Mechanical In
genuity has Advanced,

Some idea of the extent to which me-
chanical ingenuity and efficiency have
advanced may he had from the follow
ing statement at IL now possible to
construct complete sewing machine
in minute, or sixty in one hour; a
reaper every fifteen minutes, or less;
800 watches in Il day, complete in all
their ppolntments. More important
than this even, is the fact that it Is pos.
sible to construct n locomotive in a day.
From the plai.s of draugh,sman to
the execution of them by the work men,
every wheel. lever, valve and rod may
he constructed from the metal to the
engine intact. Every rivet may he
driven in the boiler, every tube in the
tube sheets, and from the smokestack
to the ashpan, locomotive may be
turned out IN a working day. complete
ly equipped, ready to do the work OF
hundred horses" Without such ma
chinery and skilled labor to operate
them, the civilized world of to-day
would be an impossibiity.

To Young Men.

AiipuhtsI
1t is believed by many that the
greater part of the advice given to
young men is virtually thrown away,
and is productive of but little good.
This attributed to the well-knOwn fact,
that what is not learned by experience
is rarely of any service; and as the av-
erage young man prefers to acquire bis
information without assistance so that
he may be manly and self-reliant, the
mistakes at the start of life are not "a
matter of much wonder. The history
of the world has demOnsti ated the fact
that too much assistance at the outset
is as Injurious as when II is too album
dant. Thus, youth who depends
upon his parents for food, raiment, pro-
lection and education without recog-
nizing the fact that those essentials are
only to fit him for assuming the du-
ties of life that necessarily devolve upon
him at the age of maturity, is thus far
In ignorance Of the requirements inn
posed upon him by the laws Of the
land, the customs of society aud the
recognized rules of common propriety.
1t would be well, If in this country,
every child should be taught some
trade by which, no matter what its
position In society may be, peculiarly
or socially, it may use in case Of neces-
sity or choice. Tae children OF the
crowned heads of Europe are thus
taught, and all are made to feel that
they are trained for whatever emer-
gency may arise. The Prince of Wales
is II ship-carpenter, while the Crown
Prince of Germany is practical prln-
ter. II II Is not considered badge of
degradation to be mechanic by the
nobility Of Europe, why should 1t be SO
regarded in ~ republic like ours? There
are abundant reasons why every one

What the cause of paraly sis, this
great destroyer of health and life, is, no
physician or scientist has yet been able
to accurately determine to the satisfac-
ton of mankind, and it is equally true
that this disease is becoming every day
more prevalent. Medical men say that
IL IL brought on sometimes from one
cause aud sometimes from another; but
the fact that cases Of paralysis are of al
most daily occurrence at the Hot
Spiings and other resorts for the treat
ment of blood and skin diseases, would
seen to indicate that the continued use
of strong mineral pJisons is great fac
tor in producing this much dreaded
scOurge. This, Of course, would proba-
bly, not happen, provided these strong
mineral mixtures were always admin
istered under the eye of competent
physician. But when compounded iU-
to nostrums the consumer does not
know how large dose Of these poisons
he is taking, and c0nse quentIy runs the
risk of being liable to all the dangers of
an unwise Use of mineral medicines.
Persons, Therefore, suffering fro
blood poison or skin troubles, who do
not consult physicians, should be care
ful office corrosive medicines.

Costly Chicken Soup.

Joe Arnold and David Scaggs Of near
White Run, this county, were brought
to Hartford on last Wednesday by
VIM. Thomas, marshal of Rosine and
L. p. Crowder constable of Rosine dis.
trct and placed in Jail where they were
to remain 80 days for stealing only one
old hen. These young men were stay
ing with Steve Arnold, an uncle OF one
of the young men. A few days since,
Mr. Steve Arnold aud wife left home to
be gone for the night. These boys con-
cluded they would have little fun aud
decided that It would be well to
enter the culinary department, so that
1t be more funny, they decided to 60 TO
the hen roost of Van Bratcher, aud steal
a chick therefrom. s, they set out on
their mission. not with the object of do
ing the neighbor any harm, hut only
for the fan there was in it. The boys
weDded their way to the chicken roJst.
and caught the old hen, and she made
such racket, that II attracted Bratch
er's attention and he went to the scene
of action rs quickly as possible, but not
in time to get the old hen. But the
next morning, bright and early,
Bratcher WAS out looking around, and
found the tracks of the boys and track
ed them home-swore out warrant of
arrest, and the boys were tried, found
guilty and penalty placed at 80 days Ia
Jail. We have carefully computed the
cost of the "old hen" to individuals
and county, should the judgment of the
court have been fulfilled, which was not
done, as the examining court had no
jurisdiction for a final trial. He could
only hold them over for further trial,
cost would have reached $40. Pshaw!
that is no cost for Zone old hen"
We would be inclined If we were not
so well acquainted with the honesty of
purpose of the magistrate who tried the
case, to censure him. But no doubt he
did what he conceived to be his duty to
do. The case was brought before the
Circuit Court on Thursday morning,
aud the young men liberated as they
should have been. They were only
held to answer any indictment that
might he brought at the next, sitting
of the grand jury, which will end the
matter doubtless, at least ii should. We
are inclined to think there is some NAL
ice some where, and We cannot fail to
think that it originated with Mr..
Bratcher. Boys DONE hook any more
hens, no matter how funny IL il.

wonderful face arrests the mind with

Imagination with the hope that we
may hereafter see Him as He IL.
Whether depicted in the coarse, rude
liues of the earliest sketches, or in the

Cider.


FARMERS nome journal.
Good cider cannot be made ont of
imperfect apples, and we guess every
body will he able TO see that with a
little thought. In AN answer to a ques-
ton as to how to preserve cider, We
copy the following:
"When the saccharne matters, by
fermentation, are being converted to
alcohol, insert "a bent tube air-tight
into the bung, with the other end into
the pail of water. This allows the
carbOnic acid gas evolved to pass off
withou, admitting air INTO the barrel,
and beverage will be obtained that is
tit nectar for The gods. A handy way
is to fill your cask nearly up to the
wooden faucet when the cask is rolled
so the bung is down. Get common
rubber tube and slip it over the end Of
the plug in the faucet, with the other
end in the pail. Then turn the plug so
the cider can have communication
with the pail. After the water ceases
tn bubble, bottle or store away.

In and About School.
eacber should reQuire:--

A teacher should require:-
|. Perfect order in the school room
for without it no thorough work can bt
done.
.. Prompt attendance it creates
habit of doing things at the right
time.
3. Regular attendance, which makes
school the most prominent thing in the
pupils mind.
4. A thorough preparation for the
recitation; this will create interest in
the classes and brake up the scattering,
vague ideas 40 common with pupils ed
ucated IN the common schools.
5. The patrons to provide their chill
dren with All adequate number of text
books, without which no school can be
success.
6. A unity of text books, which will

Z. The trustees to furnish facilities for

compelled to keep a school in a house
where the panes glass are gone, the

nothing should occur there that would

in mature years.
The teacher should be required:
/. To be live example Of his pre-
cept.
,. To furnish indisputahle evidence

3. To faithfully and diligently carry
out all the foregoing, as far as the ex-
igeDcy of the case demands, and the
surroundings render practicable.
